1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPsoriasis patients developing psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are thought to go through different phases. Understanding the underlying events in these phases is crucial to diagnose PsA early. Here, we have characterized the circulating memory T helper (Th) cells in psoriasis patients with or without arthralgia, psoriasis patients who developed PsA during follow-up (subclinical PsA), early PsA patients and healthy controls to elucidate their role in PsA development.

methodsWe used peripheral blood mononuclear cells of sex and age-matched psoriasis patients included in Rotterdam Joint Skin study (n=22), early PsA patients included in Dutch South West Early Psoriatic Arthritis Cohort (DEPAR) (n=23) and healthy controls (HC; n=17). We profiled memory Th cell subsets with flow cytometry and used the machine learning algorithm FlowSOM to interpret the data.

resultsThree of the 22 psoriasis patients developed PsA during 2-year follow-up. FlowSOM identified 12 clusters of memory Th cells, including Th1, Th2, Th17/22, and Th17.1 cells. All psoriasis and PsA patients had higher numbers of Th17/22 than healthy controls. Psoriasis patients without arthralgia had lower numbers of CCR6

conclusionsUnsupervised clustering analysis revealed differences in circulating memory Th cells between psoriasis and PsA patients compared to HC; however, no specific subset was identified characterizing subclinical PsA patients.
